Lancaster officials are not yet naming the officer wounded in a shooting this week, partially because of the recent scrutiny of police on a national level, according to a report from LNP.

The police department had posted on its Facebook page Thursday that the officer was released from the hospital:

"We are pleased to announce that the Lancaster City Police Officer injured in Tuesday's shooting has been released from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. We respectfully ask that his name not be published or released publicly so that he may continue to recover from his injuries privately and peacefully."

Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman told LNP he would not reveal the officer's name because his actions are under review and because of scrutiny of police nationally, in cases such as Ferguson and Baltimore. "I do think we need to be more measured in rushing to reveal the names of officers involved in fatal shootings out of concerns for their safety and their family's," Stedman told LNP.

Police Chief Keith Sadler told the news organization: "We are in an environment nationally that has unjustly brought the entire profession under scrutiny, even when officers are performing their duties righteously."
